Sonthofen - Around 300 members were "lost" to TSV Sonthofen within a year.
A new club app should bring a breath of fresh air.
At this year's general meeting of TSV Sonthofen, chairwoman Heidi Adelgoß had to present a sobering balance sheet.
The TSV had to "swallow" the resignation of around 300 members within a year.
The corona-related lockdown was to blame for the many withdrawals, said Adelgoß.
"Why pay an annual fee if there are no sports activities?
No games and no or only greatly reduced training and practice operations. ”She had heard this - understandable - question often enough in the past few months, according to the chairwoman.
National league team broken away
The departments would have come up with alternative offers in the lockdown, such as home training or outdoor training.
These were well received, but unfortunately only by a few, as Heidi Adelgoß emphasized.
This situation would have had lasting effects.
The national league team of the TSV volleyball players broke away, but luckily the new beach volleyball facility has fully proven itself.
The handball and basketball players would have trouble getting the necessary team strength together for the registration of teams for the new season.
The high-performance gymnasts, on the other hand, would lack the exercise due to a lack of training in order to be able to present themselves successfully and safely in competition.
Hope for vouchers from the Free State
After the significant relaxation of the Corona rules, the board now hopes for a fresh start in all departments.
"We do our best!" Said Adelgoß.
She is also hoping for the upswing thanks to the campaign by the Bavarian State Government “Join in - be fit!
Voucher for a sports club membership ”.
For this campaign, the Free State is assuming the annual fee for all Bavarian primary school children in the school year 2021/2022 when they join a (non-profit) sports club of 30 euros per child.
On the first day of school, every elementary school child received a voucher for annual membership in a Bavarian sports club.
The new club app "TSV Sonthofen Club App", which was created by the deputy chairman Manfred Haslach, was presented.
The free club app is supported by the DOSB and is aimed at people who understand their mobile phones as an organization and information tool.
